張定和作曲、劉至軒編作：春樹暮雲幻想曲 / Dinghe Zhang: Spring Trees, Twilight Clouds Fantasia

本曲係應國立台南藝術大學中國音樂學系【舊瓶裝新酒】音樂會於2013年委託創作。改編自張定和《春樹暮雲》，原為雙新笛主奏之作品。
張定和，1916年生於上海，初學美術，1933年起隨上海國立音專黃自學習和聲。1928年開始作曲，1938年在國立戲劇專科學校教授音樂，作有《芳草詠》、《江干夜笛》等民樂合奏及笛子獨奏等作品。抗戰時期在中央廣播電台音樂組擔任作曲專員，為該組的民族樂隊創作大量的民樂合奏及獨奏作品。
春樹暮雲出自唐朝杜甫詩《春日憶李白》：「渭北春天樹，江東日暮雲。」杜甫於渭北看到春樹，便憶起李白在江南見到的是暮雲，後以此為思念遠方友人之詞。
作曲者以「雲」及「思念」為發想，保留原曲主題，再以新創主題貫串，發展為具幻想風格的嶄新樣貌，分為五段：
序：流水行雲，動靜有常，世事卻難料無常。
行板：一見如故，相知相惜，飲盡手中杯的暢快。
急板：顛沛流離，亂世阻隔，一別成永訣。
廣板：春樹暮雲，時代宿命，悵然無所歸。
尾奏：俯仰今昔，能遇知己，夫復何求。

Dinghe Zhang: Spring Trees, Twilight Clouds Fantasia
Arranged: Chih-Hsuan Liu / Little Giant Chinese Chamber Orchestra, Tien-Ku Percussion Group / Chih-Sheng Chen / National Concert Hall, Taipei, Taiwan. 2014.7.13.

This work was commissioned in 2013 by the Chinese Music Department of the Tainan National University of the Arts for the concert “New Wine in Old Bottles”. Adapted from Dinghe Zhang's "Spring Trees, Twilight Clouds", which was originally written for double dizi.

Dinghe Zhang was born in Shanghai in 1916 and studied fine arts. In 1933, he studied music theory with Zi Huang at the Shanghai National Music College. He began to compose in 1928, and taught music at the National Academy of Drama starting in 1938. He has composed works such as "Fragrant Greenery", "Night Flute at Jiangan" for both Chinese orchestra and dizi solo. During World War II, he served as the resident composer for the Central Radio Station Music Group, creating a large number of Chinese traditional and solo works for their national orchestra.

"Spring Trees, Twilight Clouds" comes from Tang Dynasty Du Fu ’s poem "Recalling Li Bai in Spring": "North of the Wei, trees in spring weather; East of the Yangzi, twilight clouds." These verses indicates a great geographical distance separating Li Bai and Du Fu, and describes how he misses his friend from afar.

The arranger uses the original theme of "clouds" and "miss or yearn” to develop a new compositional idea. This work is divided into five sections:
1. Prelude: flowing waters, dynamic - the world changes and is unpredictable.
2. Andante: at the first meeting, learning about one another and drinking together.
3. Presto: forever separated during troubled times.
4. Largo: spring trees, twilight clouds are the fate of the times, feeling lost.
5. Coda: if we can meet a confidant, what more can we ask for?
